Diorissimo by Christian Dior (from a sample - thanks lilybelle)

OK, so I finally get what lily of the valley smells like. Like it has been noted, it recalls detergents, soaps...maybe a whiff of dishwashing machine rinse aid. But the Dior is very smooth, elegant...clean. I think I'm testing the 'new' formulation...since I smell absolutely no trace of anything animalic which I believe was what the vintage (Roudnitska created) juice smelled like. Nonetheless, it's lovely.

Ocean Rain by Mario Valentino (first time from a sample - thanks Ruggles)

This is really nice. The strangest aquatic I've ever smelled. It doesn't smell like water, or the sea...rather a plant or soil that is near the water. It has a mineralic almost vitamin supplement accord that is part synthetic, part salt. Head spinning stuff. I love it!
